[hometext] => lately, im really emotionally distraught in my adolescence and trying to figure out the rest of my life.
[bodytext] => Life is like a story, A big long book, A well written book. A beginning, a middle, an end, an epilogue, usually a prologue. There are different chapters, some better than the others. So many characters that can come in and out of your story. The dynamic nature of the characters is unbelievable sometimes. There are the problems, the solutions, multiple climaxes. There are twists and turns and big surprises. Maybe it’s more of a chronicle. And maybe the most important part is the epilogue. What happens before the chapters start. It’s the set up and feel of the rest of that book. It helps you to decide whether you want to bother to finish the book or not. Right now I’m writing my epilogue. I’m deciding what I want my book to be about. What kind of story do I want to write? Setting the stage for what kind of person my main character will be. And it’s not easy to set this stage because honestly, I’m not sure what I want to write about. All I know is right here, right now means the difference between a good book and a bad book. A glad book or a sad book. But your life is a different story to write. It’s not fictional; you don’t write the characters parts, or the events. You are the narrator of your book, but you don’t write it alone. And it doesn’t always have a happy ending. So sometimes, your epilogue might not matter that much. Maybe if my epilogue isn’t great I can still write good chapters. Because even as the author, I have no idea what the plot of my story will be. I don’t know what twists and turns my story may take. I hope it gets published though.
